๐Ÿšจ I pledge to NEVER step foot in a Walmart again. If I cannot afford it or find it elsewhere, I do not need it. White people MUST take a stand. This openly hostile contempt for black people cannot be tolerated or dismissed. I am not waiting for a national strike - I am DONE. Who will join me?

TikTok will be co-owned by China and Trump allies, Paramount was sold to a pro-Trump billionaire who's also set to buy Warner Bros, X is owned by an apartheid-bred fascist, WaPo and Meta are owned by Trump-cowering billionaires, and Murdoch owns the Fox empire. Here's why media has a liberal bias.

MAGA dads need to start paying attention to their sons. Something is seriously wrong.

Pointing out how safe DC by showing the low crime rates isnโ€™t going to convince conservatives because โ€œpeople breaking the actual lawโ€ isnโ€™t what they mean by โ€œcrimeโ€. To them, โ€œcrimeโ€ includes merely seeing black people, unhoused people, and anyone else the bigots clutch pearls about as โ€œcrimeโ€

Trump is destroying the country I love. Here's why I don't regret voting for him.

As deeply disturbing as Trump's use of an avalanche of lies and racist dog whistles to justify a federal take over of DC policing is...most disturbing is that this is a test-flight of declaring "emergencies" where none exist to take military-police control of multiple American cities.

Itโ€™s wild how many people think Medicaid cuts wonโ€™t affect them because their state calls it something like โ€œHealthy Louisianaโ€. I donโ€™t even care about right or left right now, this level of civic illiteracy is why itโ€™s so easy to pass bills that hurt everyone.

Rightwingers who argue free speech is only for citizens are telling on themselves.

They donโ€™t see free speech as a way to seek truth by testing our beliefs in the marketplace of ideas. They see it as a nuisance we tolerate because the Constitution says we have to.

Donโ€™t forget the shorter-lived HiMD format. I have about a dozen of these, and around 500 regular MDs recorded in HiMD format. I still use them daily.

Pick one. Either Kristi Noem is capable of doing her job and has no issue distinguishing between an undocumented migrant and a sitting US Senator, or she is completely incapable of doing her job.

Counterpoint: Robert E. Lee was a treasonous loser who gladly slaughtered his fellow Americans in defense of slavery while being a mildly above average military tactician.

He shouldโ€™ve been hanged in Lexington.

@asianmanrecords.bsky.social I bought the Maguma Taishi acetate back in the day but misplaced the CoA.

Any chance I could slip you a few bucks (or make a donation, whatever) to have you toss one in with my Honor System records when those ship?

Had this argument with my dad so many times during The Great Recession.

Itโ€™s hard to look for work when youโ€™re required to apply online AND be contactable, without some basic tech equipment. Same with maintaining an unemployment claim.

Itโ€™s not 1994 anymore, weirdly enough.

A clearly insane and cognitively diminished President Trump rambled at length about a far-right conspiracy theory in front of the president of South Africa at the White House yesterday. Now here's eight articles about Biden's halting pauses and memory lapses.

The credits screen of Real Bout Fatal Fury (with Mai Shiranui standing over a defeated Geese Howard) on the Unico version of the Neo Geo mini cabinet; itโ€™s made to look like the big red MVS cabinets did. Also my reflection in the screen.

Sometime in the past ~5 years, mini cabinets became playable rather than a novelty. I just played straight through Real Bout Fatal Fury as Mai on *these* controls.

My home office has fun toys.

Itโ€™s a good day for new music, in this case, Sarno Ultra. Jon Worsley and @kaylapainter.bsky.social really nailed it here. Find it on Bandcamp and check it out.

The cassette body, barely visible here, is as pretty as the jacket.
